Great to watch like your technique nice video.
Nicely done! I always like the step by step.
Thanks for the video.....
+shadowcastre very welcome thank you for taking the time to watch it God bless you
Great video, thank you for sharing your time and experience! Not complaining, but making aware. It was hard to see some detail work with the brightness of the metal. It seemed the camera didn't auto adjust. Still very informative thank you!
Thank! Very. Helpful.
Twist the horns before you curl them? Of course you have to have them forged more or less square (tapering) to do this. It's a bit fiddly to do it but possible. Twist them while they are stuck out rearwards, and separated from each other
I use a couple of different tap wrenches with square holes to do it. Or you could forge a similar tool with a couple of differing square holes in it. Flat bit pliers with any teeth ground off will also manage delicate twists like this.
Excellent - I love it and appreciate the nice step by step video; Booyah!
+Rick Rabjohn hey thanks God bless you for the great Comment I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
I'm really excited for the livestream! Are you ready to be bombarded with questions?
+Jaxxon Koethler yep I am ready for all of them bombardment of questions LOL
Nicely done. I'm surprised you didn't use the v-block tool you demonstrated in a December 2015 video. I told my wife "I'll bet he couldn't find it" ha ha! I've found that v-block tool really useful for these things. Lots of great info in your videos. Thanks!
John West if u have it in your liked or saved videos could u share the name of the video that he used the v-block in so I can look it up
It is called V block tool for forging animal heads. Its a nice jig that helps you to hold the item in the vise securely while making the facial features.
John West thank u!
I thought it looked more dragon like until near the end of the video. Good looking job definitely adds value to a piece.
+William Timmons glad you enjoyed the video will. Thanks for taking time to watch God bless
Awesome !~ Verre Nice !~
nice assertive hammer strikes. Just getting back to forging after a break of many years. I'll be trying this on an induction forge!
I enjoyed the simplicity of this ram's head project, & I appreciate your faith. (from N. Ireland).

Great video, can see all kinds of animal heads after the weld!
